Let’s Play! Women in the Gaming
During the month of March, Aticco has organized a series of events on the role of women in different sectors. The Startup Talks, organized together with Upbizor, this month have revolved around the state of gender equality in different industries such as blockchain; or the situation of women in gaming.
The first of the talks was titled Let's play! Women in the Gaming sector and featured the participation of four women who dedicate themselves from different fields to the exciting world of video games and eSports.
These were:
- María Díez Huerta: Head of Production at XR Games.
- Ana Oliveras Daví: CEO of Squarebox.
- Paola Macena: HR Management at TinyBytes Games.
- Elisa Cantamessa: Associate Product Manager at Product Madness.
The objective of this round table was to address the role of women within the video game industry, not so much as consumers but as workers.
In the debate that was moderated by Judit Tur, an independent translator specializing in video games, several topics were proposed such as the need for role models in the industry; the different corporate cultures and types of leadership; the famous and tedious imposter syndrome; quotas and glass ceilings.
At Aticco, we want to highlight the voices of women in gaming and raise awareness of the different initiatives that exist to promote equality in this industry, as the moderator Judit Tur concluded:
“Things don't change just with time, they change with initiatives.”
